Barn At Top Farm Approximately 15 Metres To South West Of House

The barn at Top Farm, located approximately 15 metres to the south-west of the house, is a structure that combines a barn, stable, outbuilding, and shelter shed. It dates from the early 18th century and late 18th century, with some 19th-century additions. The building features a timber frame with weatherboard cladding on a brick plinth, and red brick with some blue headers arranged in Flemish and Flemish garden wall bonds. The roofs are covered with plain tiles.

The barn originally had four bays, possibly five, and was extended by two bays on the left side in the 19th century. It also includes a late 18th-century three-bay wing with a loft that projects forward on the right side, with a lower 19th-century addition in front of it. At the rear of the three left bays, there is a 19th-century three-bay shelter shed that adjoins the extended rear midstray.

The barn features a double board door for cart entry, with a stable door and a small window to the right, and on the left side, there is a board door with two windows to the left (one of which is blocked) and one to the right. The wing is constructed of brick and has a stable door at the front, with a weatherboard gable below a half-hip. The outstanding adjoining section has two board doors on the left return, with the left one situated under a segmental brick arch. The structure has stepped eaves and a half-hipped gable above square vents.

At the rear, the midstray features a double board door, and the open-front shelter shed has arch-braced posts and a half-hipped roof. The barn's rear wall is made of brick, and there is a blocked loading hatchway in the wing. The right return of the wing has S-shaped ends of tie-rods and a board loading hatch.

Inside, the barn includes jowelled posts, straight braces to tie-beams, raked queen struts that clasp through purlins, old rafters, and wind-braces, along with a later plank ridge. The queen strut roof trusses and wind braces are present in the brick wing, while the 19th-century sections feature braced king-post trusses. This barn is included for its group value.
